We can all agree, 2020 is just not what we expected – but as the saying goes, the show must go on. In that spirit we have decided to create something different, moving our regular festivities to a completely online event, but with everything you have come to expect from our festival and even more.


Welcome to SJSFF The Home Edition, where you can share the films that you have come to love with your entire household and this includes special events, our curated film blocks, plus Q&A session and even our Meet the Filmmaker series, but now you can enjoy it all directly in your comfiest of comfy chairs.

So get your popcorn ready, because we are getting ready to deliver another fantastic year of World Class Short Films, this October it’s time to bring it all home – we hope you can make it.
